• 50+ Students participated in the event and attended the session.
• The duration for the session was 1 hour 30 minutes including the interaction with the audience.
• The response from students were overwhelming for us, they asked some surprisingly amazing questions to us, like
  
  • How can we earn money by making my code open source?
  • Who is the CEO of Apache?
  • If I take an open source project, customize it, and sell it to my friend, can he also sell my customized project.
  • How I can contribute to Apache?
  • How much do you earn by taking these session?
  • If a big organization, took my open source project and earn money from it, then will it be my loss?
  • any many more....

After the session, we had a query resolution session in which the students came up with very thoughtful and interesting queries, which we didn't quite expect considering their age. But to our surprise, most of them seemed to be aware and well-informed even at this young age.

The students were so overwhelmed that they even requested us for conducting such sessions in the future also.
We hope this session turns out to be useful for the students and we inch closer towards realizing our dream of creating an impact.

Students spend great time with us even after session, individually they asked many queries and requested us to come back soon.
In one line, these kids were awesome and we were filled with great energy after interacting with them!!
